What are some of the best two player board games for date night? – Ask The Bellhop

December 1, 2018 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

One of the first questions I answered here on the Tabletop Bellhop blog was "What are some good two player games?" This is, by far, the most popular post I've written. It's also one that I still get a lot of comments on. Many of those comments are asking me for more specific two player game recommendations. People want to know what are the best board games for couples, or games to play on date night.

Playing games is something my wife and I do together often. When we do have a night out without the kids it often involves a nice meal, some craft beer, and some gaming. Over the years we've found quite a few games that work great for when it's just the two of us. [ READ MORE ]

The Table Sat Empty – Tabletop Gaming Weekly

November 12, 2018 by Moe T. 4 Comments

This week I spent no time at the game table. That's right. Not once did I sit down and play a game with friends around the table. I think our Extra Life event, which I talked about last week, wiped everyone out. I know it took it's toll on me.

Now, that doesn't mean I didn't get in any gaming at all. I did manage to finish up a few games on Board Game Arena. [ READ MORE ]

It was a good week for me gaming wise. Quite a few games in both digital and in person.

Online I'm still playing Race for the Galaxy, 7 Wonders and lots of Tokaido. In person, we continued our Gloomhaven campaign and I got Istanbul: The Dice Game and the new printing of Saint Petersburg off my pile of shame. Then yesterday I hosted Thanksgaming where we got in plays of Lanterns: The Harvest Festival, Fuse, and Fallout. [ READ MORE ]

What are my top 20 games of all time? – Ask The Bellhop

September 29, 2018 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

Pretty much everyone asks,

What are your favourite games?

Since I launched Tabletop Bellhop the question I get asked the most is some variation of this question. What's your favourite deck builder? Do you think Concordia is the best game ever? What's your top 5/10/25? With our 10th episode of Tabletop Bellhop Live coming up this week I thought this would be a good time to finally give an answer to this question.

This is also a follow up to last week, where I talked about my favourite game mechanics. I thought that would lead well into this. [ READ MORE ]
